Another distinguishing characteristic of Open Source Learning is the idea that every participant can "write" to the curriculum-- in other words, we all create and refine our path(s) of inquiry by asking questions and suggesting resources, ideas and actions that accelerate understanding.
Lastly, Open Source Learning is transparent; online data can be shared in its original form.
Here's an example: Howard and I exchanged emails in which we discussed the online conferences. I asked him about topics and he said it's up to you. So, please comment to this post over the next month with anything you'd like to see considered in our conversation with Howard.
so it can be any topic about any thing?
ReplyDeleteYes. Howard's a well-known expert in online media and how it influences our thinking, so you might consider taking advantage of his knowledge in these areas, but he's also a world traveler and an artist who paints his own shoes and he likes surprises. :)
DeleteOnline Conference?
ReplyDeleteYes, we'll use Spreecast and computers/cameras. Howard will appear on-screen and he'll be able to see us in the room.
